Return to Corregidor

It has been a crazy school year so far and suddenly we are less than 2 weeks from the end of third quarter. In some ways, I feel like I need to hire a personal assistant that could follow me around with a camera and a note pad to keep track of all that goes on in life so that I could be better at updating you but that’s a little outside of my budget, haha. This year I am no longer working on the yearbook but I am equally (if not more) busy as I ever have been at Faith Academy. It is a little sad that there will be officially no yearbook but the students I have had in yearbook understand that the change in job for me was a step that provided the experiences for them as opposed to just documenting them and they are okay with that.

I am still co-advising the high school student executive council which carries most of the high school social events but I also moved back across campus to be the Cadd Theater Manager so I see to all the events that happen in our theater and three function rooms. I also make reservations for all spaces across campus and first semester I was co-teaching/directing HS advanced drama class which put on “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Minus the school, weekly chapels, meetings, etc part here’s a brief rundown of what my year has looked like so far:

First Quarter – High School Retreat, Spirit Week, 3 music concerts, a prayer vigil
Second QuarterAladdin Jr., All My Sons, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, ExCo Gala party, 2 banquets, 3 music concerts, Elementary Christmas Program
Third Quarter – Talent Night, Spiritual Enrichment Week, Outdoor Ed, ExCo Banquet, 3 music concerts
Upcoming Fourth Quarter – nExCo elections, The Music Man, appreciation day, 2 banquets, 2 music concerts, graduation…

It’s not an official vlog but have a peek at our Outdoor Education experience!

Bohol Earthquake Relief

The 2013 Bohol earthquake occurred on October 15, 2013, at 8:12 a.m. (PST) in Bohol, an island province located in Central Visayas, Philippines. The magnitude of the earthquake at the epicenter was recorded at Mw 7.2, located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) SW of Sagbayan town, at a depth of 12 kilometres (7.5 mi). It affected the whole Central Visayas region, particularly Bohol and Cebu. The quake was felt in the whole Visayas area and as far as Masbate island in the north and Cotabato provinces in southern Mindanao. According to official reports by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), 222 were reported dead, 8 were missing, and 976 people were injured.

The Groom Has Cold Feet (and my life as a director)

When I got back to Faith last August I had just had a whirlwind of a summer with no real time for reading plays. So, I began my frantic search for a script that would meet my ultimate goal of “display the talents of this particular group of kids.” Finding scripts is a daunting task. For me as a director it is absolutely the WORST part of the process of producing a play. We aren’t auditioning the world here only our world and that does limit what’s available to us. Sometimes content limits script use particularly when copyrights do not allow for editing. Sometimes the set or costumes or music limits us because what is needed is too elaborate for what we can accomplish. Sometimes we don’t have the right number of males vs females. And sometimes, frustratingly, we are unable to obtain the rights to produce a show because we are outside of America. I find this to be the silliest of all reasons. So sometimes you settle for something you aren’t totally thrilled with but figure you can make work and the process of making it something everyone involved will be thrilled with begins.

Catching Up

A busy life, outdated website software, and getting hacked are all major contrubuting factors to my lack of updates. We’ll just leave it at that. Thanks to one of my besties, Ben Daron, my site is back up and running. I hope to continue getting it up-to-date, but you know me (or maybe you don’t), no promises! 😉
